YGArts

YGArts is our printing and publishing company working alongside Yarm Gallery offering high quality Photo Restoration and Photographic Printing, Giclée Fine Art Printing and Publishing and is a result of a keen amateur and then professional interest in photography, and developing and printing images in a darkroom over many years.

The advent of digital photography and giclee printing now enable these processes to be achieved using computers, scanners and digital cameras. As with darkroom photographic processing, the human touch is critical in several phases of the printing process. The equipment requires regular calibration to ensure consistent colour matching. Scanned images require colour correction, which demands an experienced eye and touch in making the proper adjustments for tone, contrast, sharpness and other corrections and a practiced eye is needed to match the computer image for the final print to the original.

The last step; Printing, finalising the process, using high quality paper and light fast Ultrachrome inks to ensure that the final print is a faithful reproduction of the original and each subsequent print in the edition is the same consistent high quality.
